Artifacts on display included items related to “Blind Tom,” a blind African American savant who was born into slavery and toured the world after teaching himself to play various musical instruments, Civil War era clothing worn by the Columbus Red Jackets, and a textile loom used in Columbus' industrial boom.

Working with the Mediacom cable local affiliate, they visited literary and historic sites where local historians, authors, and civic leaders were interviewed.
